Commercial Description:
Bottle & can: Pasteurised.
Ingredients: Dark roasted malt; hops; rice; maize; Asahi’s pure cultured yeast.
Japan’s favourite dark beer. Brewed in Osaka, Asahi Black is made from three different roasted malts. This gives it a rich, nutty flavour and makes it incredibly smooth-drinking. Unlike other, more bitter dark beers and stouts, it’s brewed in a process called bottom fermentation, which gives it a subtle, sweet edge and smooth 5% abv.

Bottle. Pours with a small tan head over a dark brown body. Aroma of coffee, rice, biscuity. Bland and weak. Taste is light roast, adjunct filled, light ash. Thin, fizzy and forgettable except for the fact that they are charging $14.99 for a 6 pack!
